His words evoke a sense of spiritual purity and devotion, making this work a classic in literature and a source of inspiration for generations to come. In the context of medieval times, St. Francis's writings stand out for their revolutionary emphasis on simplicity and compassion, challenging the societal norms of the time. St. Francis of Assisi, a revered saint and founder of the Franciscan order, was known for his deep connection to nature and his dedication to living a life of piety and service. His own experiences of conversion and selflessness informed his writings, which continue to resonate with readers seeking spiritual enlightenment and guidance. His legacy as a patron saint of animals and the environment further enriches the significance of his writings. I highly recommend The Writings of Saint Francis of Assisi to readers interested in exploring the spiritual teachings of a compassionate and humble saint.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings of St. Francis may, as is obvious, be considered from more than one point of view. Premising this, we are afforded a clue to the difficulty which has led students of Franciscan sources to divide themselves into two camps as to the objective value of these writings. Indeed, one writer goes so far as to compare the attitude of modern scholars toward them to that of the “Spiritual” and Conventual Friars respectively in the first century of Franciscan history.

Book excerpt: "From the thousands of letters which St. Francis wrote to his friends and disciples, Elisabeth Stopp has selected those which most clearly express St. Francis' thought and, at the time, speak with special reference to the spiritual needs of men today. St. Francis de Sales, who was Bishop of Geneva from 1602 to 1622, lived in a difficult and worldly era. He wrote long helpful letters for those who strove to keep their religion alive while serving in the brilliant court of King Henry the IV. Other letters are addressed to his friend, St. Jane Frances de Chantal, and are rich in guidance for the management of religious communities. Rounding out this careful compilation are a group of letters addressed to Catholic converts and their problems"--

Book Synopsis Francis of Assisi by : Augustine Thompson
Download or read book Francis of Assisi written by Augustine Thompson and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I recommend this book strongly to anyone serious about understanding Francis of Assisi. I admire the clarity and brevity of the writing. With decisiveness, Thompson cuts through the conflicting medieval accounts of each event in Francis' life, adjusts for the hagiographers' spin and creates a credible chronology out of the blurry dates. His knowledge of medieval Italy allows him to provide insightful explanations of the legal, liturgical, and ecclesiastical practices of the time."—Paul Moses, America Among the most beloved saints in the Catholic tradition, Francis of Assisi (c. 1181–1226) is popularly remembered for his dedication to poverty, his love of animals and nature, and his desire to follow perfectly the teachings and example of Christ. During his lifetime and after his death, followers collected, for their own purposes, numerous stories, anecdotes, and reports about Francis. As a result, the man himself and his own concerns became lost in legend. In this authoritative and engaging new biography, Augustine Thompson, O.P., sifts through the surviving evidence for the life of Francis using modern historical methods. The result is a complex yet sympathetic portrait of the man and the saint. Francis emerges from this account as very much a typical thirteenth-century Italian layman, but one who, when faced with unexpected crises in his personal life, made decisions so radical that they challenge his own society—and ours. Unlike the saint of legend, this Francis never had a unique divine inspiration to provide him with rules for following the teachings of Jesus. Rather, he spent his life reacting to unexpected challenges, before which he often found himself unprepared and uncertain. The Francis who emerges here is both more complex and more conflicted than that of older biographies. His famed devotion to poverty is found to be more nuanced than expected, perhaps not even his principal spiritual concern. Thompson revisits events small and large in Francis's life, including his troubled relations with his father, his contacts with Clare of Assisi, his encounter with the Muslim sultan, and his receiving the Stigmata, to uncover the man behind the legends and popular images. A tour de force of historical research and biographical writing, Francis of Assisi: A New Biography is divided into two complementary parts—a stand alone biographical narrative and a close, annotated examination of the historical sources about Francis. Taken together, the narrative and the survey of the sources provide a much-needed fresh perspective on this iconic figure. "As I have worked on this biography," Thompson writes, "my respect for Francis and his vision has increased, and I hope that this book will speak to modern people, believers and unbelievers alike, and that the Francis I have come to know will have something to say to them today."

Download or read book Saint Francis of Assisi written by Theo H. Zweerman and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However interesting and important the stories by his contemporaries are, there is no better place to discover the most profound inspiration of Saint Francis of Assisi than in his own writings. These prayers, poems, proverbs, rules and letters are a gold-mine for those who wish to delve into his thoroughly biblical spirituality. He reveals himself in them as being someone who was permanently touched and marked by his encounter with Christ. In brief: the seeker of God who considered his fellow-creatures as his brothers and sisters; someone who even these days still exerts an unequalled magnetism due to his radical following of Christ. However this does not mean that his biblically inspired radiance does not need to be translated to the challenges of modern life. This is because the eight centuries separating us from him form a wide chasm. In a small way, this book endeavours to contribute to the actualisation of Francis' charisma: a freely chosen life-style characterised by having no possessions as well as by courageous service and courteous respect to others. What can his biblical 'art of living' signify for the modern individual who jealously guards his or her freedom in a world marked by excessive planning and omnipresent technology, and who at the same time is usually not quite sure for whom or for what he or she is actually free?
